The Epworth Show is run by the Epworth & District Agricultural Society. They are a Charitable organisation that were founded originally over 60 years ago. They only became a Charity in the last 10 years.
The Organisation runs three different events through the Summer Calendar:
The Epworth Show - which takes place on August Bank Holiday, it includes a range of Entertainment, Childrens Entertainment, Goats, Cattle, Sheep, Shires, Show-Jumping Horses & Ponies, Mountain & Moorland Ponies, Vintage Vehicles, Trade Stands, Beer Tent and other Exhibits.
The Saddle Club - Four events are held through between May and September every year. A variety of Horse & Pony events including Dressage.
The Epworth Beer Festival - Held over the August Bank Holiday weekend on the Friday and Saturday night and includes a range of "Real Ales" and Ciders as well as Live Bands.
The Showfield
The show has had several different sights in it's life span. All within Epworth, Lincolnshire itself. The early years were on Battle Green, Epworth. It later moved down Scawcett Lane and moved around a couple of fields there. The Society finally found a permanent sight which is now it's home. Located on Wroot Road, the Show has been there for almost 20 years and in that time they have purchased more land and built a variety of facilities which are used by the Show and other events that take place there.
